Biography
Valeria was born in Lagunillas, Zulia, December 30, 1989. From a young age, Valeria developed her taste for music under the guidance of her parents, composer Franklin Pire and choir director Lourdes Franco.
Then in 1992, at the age of two, she had the amazing experience of going to live in Ukraine, where her father undertook his academic studies at the Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky National Conservatoire in Kyiv. It was in Ukraine that Valeria first came close to music when she was gifted a violin for her birthday, starting private classes.
On returning to Venezuela, Valeria did not give up her calling and continued her musical education under the charge of her mother, who suggested that she continue. Needless to say, her mother is the foundation from whom Valeria gets her strong convictions.
At the age of 15, she started her studies at the José Luis Paz Conservatoire in Maracaibo, Venezuela, specializing in singing, where she started lyrical singing classes with the soprano Linda Marín Carpio. At the same time, because of her vocal abilities, she was selected as a soprano to form part of the Coral Antiphona, a group that she would be part of for 12 years. Valeria has not only confined herself to being a musician, but she has fully grasped the search for her polysemous language, entering into the field of Graphic Design and obtaining her professional degree in 2010.
In the field of Graphic Design, Valeria has worked with important local designers such as Lorena Hernández. She has also worked as a designer in the Graphic Production Department of the Magazine Tendencia. In 2015 she founded Polímata Estudio together with Eric Sánchez. With the Coral Antiphona, Valeria Pire, like her collective, received important awards in prestigious and diverse national and international choral music competitions.
In January 2015, together with her family, she started the project Capilla Musica Ricercare, dedicated to the interpretation of old music, acting as Soloist Soprano in addition to developing the Project's entire graphic production.
In October of the same year, she moved to the country's capital together with her sister María José Pire to form part of the Camerata Barroca de Caracas directed by the master Isabel Palacios, participating in two concerts in the Rios Reyna hall of the Teresa Carreño Theater.
